Crawler Innovations Nova Foams will fix that! The dual stage or the deuces wild are great tire foams!

Tires or rims vented?
If not vent them, I prefer the tires vented (3 or 4 2mm holes with a leather punch is perfect).

I suppose the first question should be do you have any foam in your tires to begin with/ which tires are you running?

Venting your tires is great for rock crawling, but if you vent for scale running you should use closed cell foam, it will not absorb water, reg foam will get heavy, out of balance, and freeze in cold weather. I have vent screws to take in and out and use even for temperature change.
